Early Voting in the General Election to Start Saturday, Oct. 19
All eligible voters can cast a ballot ahead of Election Day
ماساتشوستس- Voters can cast a ballot in the 2024 November election starting tomorrow, Saturday Oct. 19. Early voting in-person is available from Saturday Oct. 19 through Friday Nov. 1. To find early voting locations and times, voters should visit the Secretary of State’s website.
“This is the first presidential election since COVID where voters can cast a ballot ahead of Election Day,” said جيف فوستر، المدير التنفيذي لمؤسسة Common Cause في ماساتشوستس. “We encourage everyone not to wait until Election Day to cast a ballot and join the tens of thousands of voters who will participate in early voting in this election.”
Common Cause Massachusetts is part of a national election protection coalition designed to recruit, train, and mobilize volunteers to assist voters at the polls. The coalition also runs the national nonpartisan voter assistance hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE. Voters who experience any challenges or have questions with any part of the voting process are encouraged to call or text the hotline to connect with experts who can help.
The nonpartisan voter assistance hotline is available in the following languages:
- إنجليزي: 866-تصويتنا / 866-687-8683
- الأسبانية: 888-VE-Y-VOTA / 888-839-8682
- اللغات الآسيوية: 888-API-VOTE / 888-274-8683
- عربي: 844-يلا-الولايات المتحدة / 844-925-5287
على المستوى الوطني في عام 2020، حطم الناخبون الأرقام القياسية للتصويت المبكر بما يقرب من 70% من الناخبين الذين أدلوا بأصواتهم عن طريق البريد و/أو قبل يوم الانتخابات. وبتقسيم هذا الرقم، نجد أن حوالي 43% من الناخبين أدلوا بأصواتهم عن طريق البريد، وآخرون 26% صوتوا شخصيًا قبل يوم الانتخابات. كانت انتخابات عام 2020 هي الأعلى معدلًا للتصويت غير التقليدي في الانتخابات الرئاسية، وفقًا لمكتب الإحصاء الأمريكي.
In 2022, Common Cause Massachusetts and a coalition of organizations spearheaded the passage of the VOTES Act, a comprehensive election reform package that expanded early voting. Common Cause first championed expanding early voting in 2014, broadening the time Massachusetts voters can cast ahead of Election Day.
